Combining Tiny Bootloader with my code
PostPosted: Fri Jan 06, 2006 7:57 am     Reply with quote
Has anyone tried to add the Tiny Bootloader to thier hex file so that it can be all loaded at one time. I need to be able to program one Hex file and have the bootloader intact.
I love the Tiny Bootloader and am currently finishing a Visual Basic program of my own to program it with. I don't know if anyone has done this or not before either.

What's the difference between a bootloader (definition:" A bootloader is used to quickly download a new program into your PIC micro, in a few seconds.") and using ICProg or PonyProg...or are they bootloaders too?

Bootloaders allow programming via a RS232 connection with the PIC and not through the ICSP B6/B7 pins.

Google and read about them, they can be quite handy for client installed firmware updates.

You can have multiple flavours of bootloaders technologies including RS232, RS485, SPI, Ethernet, USB...
